Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) ND (1950) from Federal Republic of Germany made of Copper-nickel weighing 8.2g is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The coin's obverse features a portrait of a young woman, representing the Federal Republic of Germany, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, while the reverse depicts a stylized eagle with outstretched wings and a shield bearing the German coat of arms. This design was intended to symbolize the country's post-war rebirth and its commitment to democracy and unity. However, the design was ultimately rejected in favor of a more traditional design featuring the German eagle and the denomination. As a result, the Pattern 2 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) ND (1950) is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
